Merc is alive, don't worry about him. Contact has been made (although super brief.)

These all make me LOL. Merc maybe not so much. :twistd: For now, Merc as far as I know is busy with family holiday stuff. I'm sure he's fine but I'll go look for him if he doesn't resurface after Thanksgiving holiday. :) Cheers to you all and your families! Happy Turkey day to all in the...

Yes, that may work!!

I somewhat apologize that I am a lurker on your forums. I find you all interesting people (first introduced by Merc several years ago) but I don't have much to add to your conversations aside from a comment here or there. I last talked to Merc on Nov 10 and he was "just Merc," not happy, maybe...

Yes, I have talked to him a few times in the last couple weeks. He's alive but not really in a happy place right now. There is no real answer to his medical issues yet and the insurance headache is certainly not making things any easier. That's it in a nutshell.

Oh, and I did contact them and all they did was forward my concerns onto Comcast. Gee, thanks.

I've asked about that and was told that their agreement is with the Indiana Regulatory Commission out of Indianapolis. That might be a lie too but I can't find anything that says otherwise.

The actual Internet service is hard to beat, I'll admit that. I am sorely missing it. Their local office along with their customer service, sales, technical, and surveying departments can all burn in the fiery pits of hell as far as I'm concerned. They tell lies, they never call back, and the...

My neighbor down the road (on my same county road) that has Comcast is 1000' away. I live less than a mile from US Rte 6 and less than 1/4 mile from State Road US 2. These are main thoroughfares. There are already poles down my street for other utilities but Comcast stops 1000' away. The...

True story, I love it. Also, true story that the price is tough to justify currently; however, I am mostly happy with it nonetheless. My biggest complaint is the battery charge time (3-4 hours I think). I do find the battery life satisfactory for a device of its kind though (I'd say I got...

Are you extremely bored today or something?

Thanks for the input guys. One more question to add... My server did not get wet being about 4 inches off the ground (and yes its going on a rack in our new building which is 2 months from done) but there is a lot of moisture in the air since I do work in a dungeon. Should I point a fan near...

Thanks everyone. I will be making my purchase sometime this week. I will let you know what I decided on.

The laptop actually does very little traveling. They (work) want me to have a laptop so I can take it home or to meetings but I rarely need to travel with it. I take it home every other weekend and to a offsite meeting maybe once a month. I think I prefer a 15" ish screen.

I have just been told I can buy myself a new laptop for work. I can spend about $1500 before I have to start explaining why I need something more expensive. So, I though this would be a good place to ask which are your favorites. I currently have an older Dell Inspiron which I think is built...

Also, two of our field guys have the Sprint service. They use them in the city and they work great. The one guy said his doesn't work as well in his house in Indiana but at the jobsite in Chicago it is great.

FWIW, depending on what you or your client needs, it may be good enough to pay an extra $5 a month on top of your regular Verizon plan to just get limited internet access. This is what I have and it works great. I can check weather, yahoo and hotmail email, ebay auctions, news, directory...

Nope you can't Merc. It fits his needs and if he stays off of my computer I am happy. :-D It was a long two months when he was computerless.

We really have no room for another desktop. Desktop means another desk and another monitor. Therefore, although the 17" Alienware is a bit bulky, it is only meant to be portable enough to be at point A or point B in the same house. Since we both play games he wanted something that could...

FWIW I can agree on the Latitude/Inspiron comments above. My work laptop is an Inspiron and my b/f's work laptop is a Latitude. The Latitude is the superior machine and lesss flimsy when it comes to taking it apart. Regarding disassembly of the Inspiron, Merc is absolutely right. The...

Program looks nifty, thanks for sharing. I wish I had it last week when I had to decrapify a new computer the old fashioned way.

Ditto. The rechargable lamps were kinda lame too but still better than Sake. Where are the screaming monkeys?!!! The next thing will probably be a Roomba since we haven't seen one of those yet. Boo!!!

People should know the difference between right and wrong without organized religion to "guide" them. The problem with organized religion is the same as the problem with all rules. People will continue to contort and twist these rules to work for their own best interests. After all, if you...

Lucky duck. I tried but got nuthin. Let us know what you get.

Nope, Indiana http://www.wineintro.com/basics/shipping/ If I really want to order wine online I have to ship it to a relatives house in Illinois which is a PIA but doable.

Why must woot put wine on the woot-off. Isn't there a wine.woot for that? Someone who doesn't live in stupid state like mine please buy some so we can get on to the next thing. I'd love to try the wine but nope, no wine shipments here. And where is the Bag O Crap?

House Cabernet please Bartender.

Having everything show up at one time in one box is worth the 99 cents. The point is that if they use that address in the CD instructions, it should work. If it does not work, the website should tell you or you should receive an email. I just figured I'd post in case someone else ran...

Apparantly if you have one of the slightly older CD's for the NOD32 software it tells you to go to www.eset.com/register to activate it. You are then supposed to receive you username and password within 10 minutes to an hour. Turns out www.eset.com/register is no good anymore and you must go...

I swear they will never ever run out of Roombas. Being a Scooba fan and all I understand the appeal; however, you would think that everyone who wants one should have one by now. Sigh.... impatiantly waiting for the next thing.

We are still working out of someones house. Our new office is in the works and if stays on its current schedule should be done by 2009 IMO. They keep saying this summer but at the rate its going, not going to happen. Anyway, we have about 15 office-type employees (clerical, sales, etc) and...

I am going to go see that tomorrow after work with some friends. I hope it is as awesome as it looks like in the previews.

I absolutely hate those vinyl chair mats at OfficeMax. They don't last long at all before they start cracking and splitting and they make a mess when they start falling apart. Ridiculous. (and I only weigh 115 lbs so that isn't the problem) I have not found a better solution but if you do...

Well, that seems a bit of a harsh assessment Merc. :???: But anyway, thanks for all the suggestions guys. I appreciate all the input; however, unfortunately I am "stuck" with Access. It is what I know how to use and what is most effective given that. I am not a full time IT person and like...

I just bought a new chair a few months ago. I sat in every chair in the store from 50 to 350 dollars and was pleasantly surprised that the most comfy one was only 100 bucks. Everyone is different so its best if you can go sit in a bunch of them. I shop for most everything I buy online. I...

For what its worth, I have never had one die after 6 months but any of the wireless routers I have used at work or home have never lasted over 2 years.

Most people don't figure that out right away. You are smarter than the average bear Ted Acda. :thumbright:

Well, I did just open my database in 2007 and even converted the file. So far nothing appears to be amiss. For the moment it appears I was being overly cautious but I am not fully convinced until I have time to do further testing. I really expected it to blow up. It couldn't really be this...

This isn't a boys only club is it? :-P

Nitsirk <--------------------- yes, female :flower:

Well, the reason I am considering the upgrade is that we are tossing around the idea of upgrading all the other office programs. (this is nice way to put it) In reality my boss said, "Get everyone on Excel 2003 because the VBA code I wrote for Blah Blah Excel program doesn't work on So and...

The entire thing is only about 15MB or so and I currently have 10 users.

Greetings everyone! :) I am new here and was hoping I could pick your brains regarding a database upgrade. I am currently running an Access 2000 database that is in serious need of some fine tuning and upgrades. As I perform these upgrades I was pondering upgrading the database to Access...
